The Ministry of Touch: Faith You Can Feel explores one of the most overlooked yet powerful dimensions of Christian faith: embodied presence.
Drawing on decades of pastoral ministry in parishes, prisons, hospitals, hospice care, and retreat settings, Geoffrey Schmitt invites readers to rediscover how God works through hands, proximity, restraint, and sacrament. From holding a trembling hand to anointing with oil, from baptismal water to bread broken in communion, this book traces how grace is not only believed—but felt.
With honesty and reverence, Schmitt also addresses necessary boundaries, misuse of touch, and moments when restraint itself becomes holy. Each chapter combines Scripture (KJV), teaching, meditation, personal reflection, poetry, questions, and prayer, offering readers both theological depth and pastoral warmth.
This is not a manual of techniques. It is a call to wise presence—to touch that heals, strengthens, sends, and protects.
Written for clergy, caregivers, ministry volunteers, and thoughtful believers, The Ministry of Touch invites readers into a faith that does not remain distant, but draws near with humility, courage, and love.
